Johnson O'Connor (January 22, 1891 July 1, 1973) was an American psychometrician, researcher, and educator. He is most remembered as a pioneer in the study of aptitude testing and as an advocate for the importance of vocabulary. O Connor came from a prosperous and well-rooted Chicago family. His parents were John O Connor and Nelie Johnson O Connor. O'Connor's mother descended from relatives who were among the first Puritan settlers of Massachusetts, while his father was an attorney who at one time officed with the famous lawyer Clarence Darrow. O'Connor received a progressive primary and secondary education with John Dewey at Dewey's famous University of Chicago Laboratory School. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1913 with a degree in Philosophy. After graduation he conducted research in astronomical mathematics under famed astronomer Percival Lowell, brother of the poet Amy Lowell and worked in electrical engineering at American Steel and Wire and General Electric.
